Over $1000 damage was done early yesterday morning by a fire, which for several minutes threatened to be serious, in the A. D. Club on the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Plympton Street.

Patrolman Jack Tevlin heard the crash of falling glass as he was passing by at 4.45 o'clock and hurried to turn in an alarm. Flames had already burst through the back windows on the third floor of the building by the time the alarm was actually turned in.

Most of the damage occurred in the back rooms of the A. D. club, although the music store of Briggs & Briggs suffered somewhat from water.
